I believe the person you're addressing is no longer "here", and I can't speak for him/her, but at the time I had the same confusion and think I successfully figured out what they were trying to say, so I'll give it a go. Yes, "close nodes" = collapsing the outline. I believe this is so the "before" and "after" snapshots of the .leo file don't get muddled with the state-tracking data. "Commit nodes" or "portions" refers to the generated @ <files> - only commit in your VCS those you are sharing, not the ones you consider "private". > generic Leo files (albeit also text files), cannot be merged safely in general Safety is a relative thing - this person claimed to not have a problem with doing it - I've seen other say it can be done, but with difficulty. In my limited experience I wasn't able to do so successfully, which is why I added to my "SOP" making sure all the important data in my .leo files are also output to more-or-less structured plaintext @shadow files, all of which is frequently committed to VCS as well as routine backup archives. Note I am not casting aspersions on Leo's data safety, just working around my dangerously limited understanding of how to use it properly - perhaps now improved, but I'm a belt+suspenders kinda guy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
